Congure POP3 Server

Path: Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > POP3 Server

POP3 is an application layer protocol most commonly used for e-mail over a TCP/IP connection. The authentication

server can be used with SSL encryption over port 995 to send encrypted trac to the POP3 server. The POP3

server’s certicate is veried by a user-uploaded CA certicate. If SSL encryption is not used, port 110 will be used

for the POP3 authentication trac.

The wireless controller acts only as a POP3 client to authenticate a user by contacting an external POP3 server.

This authentication option is available for IPsec, PPTP/L2TP Server and Captive Portal users. Note that POP3 for

PPTP / L2TP servers is supported only with PAP and not with CHAP / MSCHAP / MSCHAPv2 encryption.
